Even contactless tolls require drivers to slow down and pass through a gated entrance. You're not going through a terminal at 100 kmph. Wide toll gates like this exist from Houston to Hamburg.

You have to deal with the inevitable folks who don't have the right kind of RFID tag, don't know how to properly navigate the gate, or simply fuck up as drivers passing into a congested part of the freeway.
